🧮 Algebra

Letters stand in for numbers, turning one problem into a general rule. Equations, graphs and patterns are all algebra's language.

  1. 01🦾Variables & the Function MachineLetters that stand in for numbers, and a machine that processes them — the gate to algebra.
  2. 02📈Equation of a Straight LineEvery line carries an ID card — m says how it climbs, b says where it starts.
  3. 03📥SubstitutionHand the letter a concrete number and follow the rules step by step — a formula turns into an answer.
  4. 04⚖️Solving Linear EquationsAn equation is a balance scale — do the same thing to both sides and x gets cornered step by step.
  5. 05🔺ExponentsMultiplying a number by itself, written with one small superscript — exponents are multiplication's shortcut.
  6. 06🧭Cartesian CoordinatesTwo number lines cross, and every point on the plane gets an address of its own.
  7. 07🔀InequalitiesReal life rarely says "exactly equal" — the territory of "at least" and "no more than" belongs to inequalities.
  8. 08🎢Quadratic EquationsThe moment x² appears, the graph bends into a parabola — every thrown ball is drawing one.
  9. 09🔩FactorisingExpanding unpacks the brackets, factorising packs the result back in — algebra's reverse gear.
  10. 10👥Simultaneous EquationsTwo unknowns, two equations — hunt them down by substitution or elimination.
  11. 11📉Functions & Their GraphsPut a number in, the rule spits a number out — graph the machine and its temperament becomes a curve.
  12. 12📦Expanding BracketsOpen the brackets and multiply into every term — the distributive law is the only engine, the minus sign is the only trap.
  13. 13📍Midpoint & DistanceAverage the coordinates to find the middle, use Pythagoras to measure the slanted road — two pocket tools for the coordinate plane.
  14. 14🔃Direct & Inverse ProportionDoubling together is direct proportion, a constant product is inverse — the two tidiest patterns of change.
  15. 15🧹Simplifying ExpressionsOnly like terms may merge — tidy the clutter in an expression, and substitution later costs half the effort.
  16. 16🛠️Formulas & RearrangingFormulas are recipes in symbols — substitute to cook them forward, rearrange to ask them backwards, and the balance keeps every step fair.
  17. 17🪄Special Binomial ProductsThe perfect-square and difference-of-squares identities — plus the classic lesson that (a+b)² never equals a²+b².
  18. 18🪁Graphing QuadraticsOpening direction, axis of symmetry and vertex — the three things to read on a parabola, plus counting x-intercepts with the discriminant.
  19. 19🧃Rational ExpressionsFractions with algebra inside — cancel by factorising, and keep one red line, a denominator that must never be zero.
  20. 20🔊LogarithmsAsk 2 to what power gives 8 and you have a logarithm — the inverse of exponents, speaking behind earthquake magnitudes and pH.
  21. 21🚀Sequences and SeriesArithmetic walks at a constant pace, geometric doubles as it runs, and Gauss summed 1 to 100 with one pairing trick — numbers in a queue follow rules too.
  22. 22🏹VectorsDisplacement, velocity and force refuse to fit in a single number — they need size and direction, and components turn their algebra back into primary-school arithmetic.
  23. 23🗂️Introduction to MatricesNumbers arranged in a grid, added cell by cell, multiplied row times column — and at the end one matrix rotates an entire figure by 90 degrees.
